ZUSO's Latest Offering “Hurting” Showcases His Sharp, Evolving Production Style and Unique sound

ZUSO’s new single “Hurting,” featuring Keelan Mak, is a sharp display of production control and stylistic blend, drawing from UK garage and house to create something rhythmically tight and emotionally charged. The track is driven by momentum, shifting between paces in a way that keeps the energy focused and dynamic.

From the start, there’s a real fullness to the mix. Soft synths and rich textures lay the groundwork, gradually building into a chorus that hits with high intensity. The stuttered effects and rhythmic shifts give the track a restless feel, making the high points feel impactful without overwhelming. The drop doesn’t just rely on volume alone, it’s about how the layers interact, how the beat skips just enough to feel unexpected, while still keeping the groove locked in.

“I started this idea on a rainy day in my hotel room in London,” ZUSO shares. “It began as a melodic house tune… Eventually, it shifted into this UKG/stutter-house vibe. I knew it needed something extra- that’s when I hit up Keelan.” The decision paid off. Mak’s vocal delivery blends seamlessly with the track’s pacing, giving the harder-hitting sections contrast and clarity.

“Hurting” shows how effective well-paced production can be. ZUSO knows when to hold back and when to push forward, and that control makes the song feel polished without being predictable. It’s a strong step forward, reinforcing his growing reputation in the Australian electronic scene.
